The use of certain words, including “believe,” “potential,” “expect” and “will” and similar expressions, is intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the uncertainties inherent in research and development, including related to safety, biomarkers, progression of, and results from, its ongoing and planned clinical trials, review and approvals by regulatory authorities of its drug and diagnostic candidates and the Company’s continued ability to raise capital to fund its development, as well as those risks and uncertainties discussed or identified in the Company’s public filings with the French Autorité des marchés financiers (“AMF”), including those listed in Section 4 “Main Risks and Uncertainties” of the Company’s 2018 Registration Document filed with the AMF on February 27, 2019 under n° D.19-0078, which is available on GENFIT’s website (www.genfit.com) and on the website of the AMF (www.amf-france.org) and public filings and reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s final prospectus dated March 26, 2019, and subsequent filings and reports filed with the AMF or SEC, or otherwise made public, by the Company.

Important Information
The shares of Genfit have not been and are not being registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and neither Genfit, its shareholders or their affiliates intend to register its shares in the United States or to conduct a public offering of securities in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States unless they are registered under the Securities Act, or exempt from registration.

Based on its historic and expected operations, composition of assets and market capitalization (which will fluctuate from time to time), Genfit does not expect that it will be a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (a “PFIC”) for the current taxable year. However, the determination of whether Genfit is a PFIC is made annually, after the close of the relevant taxable year, and, therefore, it is possible that Genfit could be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year due to changes in the composition of its assets or income, as well as changes in its market capitalization.
